The beautiful Ms. Kelly Rowland was recently recognized for her God given gift of looks by People Magazine. Rowland, currently prepping the release of her much anticipated album, "Talk A Good Game," landed at number seven on the magazine's 2013 "Most Beautiful in the World" list.

"The first thing that popped in my head when I was asked to be a part of People Magazine's No Make-Up was oh my gosh," says an ecstatic Kelly Rowland, who is honored to be on the list. "I feel very comfortable in my skin and very comfortable to share it with you guys."

Rowland didn't always have this sense of confidence. "I went through a period where I didn't … embrace just being a chocolate, lovely brown-skinned girl," Rowland told CNikky.com about not being secure in her beauty. But her confidence was renewed after her mother and friend Beyonce gave her the needed inspiration. The 21-year old says you have to "embrace everything that you are as a woman, even your flaws, too."
